what products Probably none specifically advertised. When someone has a stump, they usually want it gone, not preserved. I'd guess maybe 2 people in the US would want to preserve a stump for a much longer time than it takes for the stump to decay naturally. You'd probably need to preserve the roots, as well, to some extent. I can venture a guess at a couple of products that might work to some degree, but to potentially subject those products to/into the soil may amount to polluting the soil. At best, just paint the top surface, and keep it painted as best you can, and be happy with that. Other options: 1) Go steal a petrified stump from the National Park in Arizona. 2) Make a stump using bondo and stain or paint it to look like a tree stump.. Sonny |

If you seal the cut surface too early, it will not be able to dry out and fungus will rapidly take over. Strip the bark above ground to allow for better drying and to eliminate shelter for insects and fungus. Treat the surrounding area for subterranean termites. Works best if you use the right type of wood - cypress, redwood, etc. |
